<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3544204, member: 15199"]A good way to practice the grading eye, Since they probably are from the same batch from the roll stage, line them up in order of grade. It sharpen the eye to see the slight difference in grade , such as marks, dings, mechanical doubling, etc. When you have them in order, mark them on the reverse with a sharpie 1,2....50, Do the 'shuffle' and rearrange them in order. If when you flip them they are in the same numerical order , give yourself a treat. You have a sharp eye . If they are way off , repeat until you can get them very close. Keep the best 5 or 10 and spend or give to young kids the rest. Jim</p><p><br /></p><p>ps. Acetone will take off the marker.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
